How does ranked work?

Conqora FAQ · updated 2026-10-16

Short answer: Three queues (solo 1v1, duo 2v2, trio 3v3), each with its own rating starting at 1000. Five placement matches, then tiers from Bronze to Grandmaster with three divisions each. Ratings move with your result and opponents' strength. Ranked gives double XP; leaving counts as a loss.

The queues

QueueFormatMaps
Solo1 vs 1Ironclad Strait, Ember Atoll, Highland Duel
Duo2 vs 2Twin Bays, Shattered Coast, Frost March
Trio3 vs 3Tri Delta, Sundered Isles, Grand Basin

Ranked maps are small, built for the format, and have no nations, so the fight starts after about two minutes of expansion.

Getting in

You need a free account. Open Ranked in the main menu, pick solo, duo or trio, and for duo and trio invite friends into your party with the link, code or Invite button.

Tips

More: ranked guide.

Before your first placement match

Placements move your rating more than later matches, so it pays to arrive prepared rather than learning the maps in your first five games.

  1. Play a few single-player games on small maps to practise the first two minutes: spawn, expansion, first city and first Defense Post.
  2. Learn the attack ratio keys (Z/X) and the boat key (B). In ranked the difference between a good and a bad opening is often how fast you adjust the ratio.
  3. Read the ranked guide and the advanced strategy tips.
  4. For duo and trio, agree on roles with your party before you queue.

Ranked maps carry territories but no nations: the solo maps hold 20 territories, duo 40 and trio 60. In 1v1 they are effectively the third player, so taking them faster than your opponent is a big part of the early game.

Climbing advice by tier

Tiers are 150 rating points wide with three divisions each. The advice below is about habits, not secrets; most rating comes from making fewer mistakes than the other side.

TierWhat usually decides gamesFocus on
BronzeOverextending and attacking with too many troopsKeep your attack ratio moderate so troops regrow near their fastest rate (around 40% of max)
SilverSlow expansion and late first buildingsA fast, clean opening; your first City and Port on time
GoldLosing the territories raceFarm territories while your opponent is busy and contest theirs
PlatinumUndefended borders and coastsDefense Posts on the front, a Warship to stop boats
DiamondEconomy differencesPorts, factories and trade; gold decides who can afford nukes
MasterNuke and SAM timingSilo deep inside your land, SAM cover before you commit, the T overlay
GrandmasterSmall decisions under pressureScouting, reading your opponent's build, punishing every gap

More questions

What happens if I disconnect or leave?

Leaving a ranked match counts as a loss. Make sure you have time for a full match before you queue; most last 10 to 30 minutes.

Do duo and trio share one rating?

Each queue (solo, duo, trio) has its own rating starting at 1000, and in team queues the team's result counts for every member.

Why did I gain fewer points for a win?

The rating looks at how strong your opponents were. Beating higher-rated players is worth more; beating lower-rated players is worth less, and losing to a stronger player costs less.

What does "Placement 2/5" mean?

You are still in your first five matches. You already have a rating, but the game shows your placement progress instead of a tier until all five are done.
